I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."  

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

No! I should go see if there's anything new.

I was looking at timeline stuff... Crack is much, much better.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm in for next week, unless I am still recovering from Scola Birthdaying.

Damnit, every time I have this disk in, I CANNOT resist rewatching The Phone Call.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And now I'm watching The Scene in Asylum, and Sam's wearing a black undershirt. K might be on to something.

HE PULLED THE TRIGGER. FOUR. TIMES. Still so very OMGWTFSAM.

OK, I'm going to stop serial squeeing and go to bed. This was excellent, folks. Definitely worth staying up for.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The DVD W&P is a bit late for my schedule, but I enjoy following along the next morning. I've been catching up on S1, and thanks to those who recommended watching Home and Asylum back to back. Home just about undid me, especially the scene where Dean snuck off to make the phone call to Dad.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

See, all the unanswered phone calls to Dad, and the increasing frustration and anxiety and fear on the part of the boys just keep adding to my certainty that Papa Winchester just both sucks and blows at being a dad. Yes, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is hot. Yes, Dad Winchester taught them to shoot guns and throw knives and lay salt lines and be paranoid. But for me personally, I really dislike the character. Dean, the obedient son and perfect soldier calls in tears begging for help, and Dad ignores him? Sam calls to tell him Dean is dying and Dad ignores him? Can't even be bothered to return a phone call? Well, fuck you too, Dad. I have to say I sided with Sam on all those bitch-fits about blindly following orders he was throwing at the end of season one. Not to mention John abandoning them as children on a regular basis. That's a whole 'nother rant. I wasn't really sorry when John died, other than for the effect on Dean and Sam.

Next week's episode has a really nice moment after (it's a repeat, so I'm not spoiling anything here) Sam clocks Gordon and unties Dean. Dean, who has been knocked around some himself, gets to his feet and examines Sam, cupping his face and then swearing furiously as he turns, intending to kill Gordon for hurting Sam. I like protective big brothers. Probably comes from being an only child.
